The two met in London while Noblezada starred as Kim in the West End revival of Miss Saigon; at the time, the London-based Roberts was appearing in Les Misérables.

Noblezada earned a Tony nomination when the production transferred to New York, marking her Broadway debut. Between the London and New York engagements, she appeared as Eponine in Les Misérables in the West End.

In addition to Les Mis, Roberts has appeared on the West End stage in Show Boat and in the U.K. tour of Shrek.
